Google AI Studio introduces “Vibe Coding” for prompt-based app development

Google has added a new “Vibe Coding” experience to its AI Studio platform. The goal: let users go from a descriptive idea to a working AI-powered app in minutes, without needing to manage all the underlying code, APIs or models.

Key features include:

• Prompt-to-app workflow: Users describe their desired app in natural language (for example, “a photo-editing app that turns selfies into line-drawings”), and AI Studio, powered by Gemini models, wires up the right components (models, APIs, logic) automatically.

• Annotation Mode: After app creation, users can visually select elements (buttons, images, cards) and tell the system what to change (“make this button blue”, “animate this image from the left”) rather than digging into code.

• Revamped App Gallery: A visual library of example apps, starter code and remixable projects for inspiration and faster development.

• Seamless key/quota management: If the free usage quota is reached, users can add their own API key and continue without interruption, while the system will automatically revert when the quota renews.

Audience & positioning: The update aims at both developers and non-developers: those with little coding experience but ideas to build, as well as experienced builders who want to accelerate prototyping.

Technical context: The feature leverages Google’s Gemini stack and integrates multimodal capabilities (text, image, video) behind the scenes, removing much of the manual setup for APIs/SDKs.

Availability: The announcement indicates that the new experience is available in AI Studio now, though specific models and components may roll out by region or by user status.
